It’s looking like female weightlifter Anna Vanbellinghen is going to compete in the upcoming Olympic Games against Laurel Hubbard, a former men’s weightlifting competitor who now identities as a woman — and Vanbellinghen is not too thrilled.
The Belgian weightlifter likened the prospects of Hubbard, who is a biological man, competing in the Games to “a bad joke.”
“First off, I would like to stress that I fully support the transgender community, and that what I’m about to say doesn’t come from a place of rejection of this athlete’s identity,” Vanbellinghen said earlier this month. “I am aware that defining a legal frame for transgender participation in sports is very difficult since there is an infinite variety of situations, and that reaching an entirely satisfactory solution, from either side of the debate, is probably impossible.”
“However, anyone that has trained weightlifting at a high level knows this to be true in their bones: this particular situation is unfair to the sport and to the athletes,” the athlete emphasized.
